Abstract: We report on a preliminary study of the volume dependence of the gluon propagator. The propagator is computed using different lattice volumes, its extrapolation to infinite volume is investigated with particular attention to the its IR behaviour. Our data shows a mild but measurable dependence with the volume. Unfortunately, we are not able yet to clarify its behaviour close to zero momentum.
